In 'Whose Shadow Is This, Anyway?', you find yourself in the bustling metropolis of Afterlight City, a place where shadows come to life and have distinct personalities, desires, and secrets of their own. You play as Sam Shade, a sly but down-on-their-luck detective with the unique ability to communicate with shadows. One night, a mysterious shadow appears in the city, causing chaos and confusion, and it’s up to you to unravel the mystery behind its origins. As you venture through dimly lit alleys, crowded cafés, and ongoing underground parties, you'll question the motives of shadows reflecting the city's eccentric residents, solve twisted puzzles, and forge alliances. But be careful; in a world where everyone has something to hide, trust is a fickle shadow itself.
